Discover the jewels of Venice in just 1 day!
Experience the real essence of the city with your native Venetian guide, who will be showing you around this fascinating labirinth rich of histories, legends and traditions.
From Rialto bridge, with its millenary trade center, to St. Mark's square, surrounded by the 3 "cousins": the Basilica, the Doge's Palace and the Bridge of Sighs.
Arriving in Cannaregio, where the merchants had developed their main activities, you will enjoy an authentic atmosphere, exploring an original atelier of Carnival masks.
You will also have lunch like a Venetian, with the delicious "cicheti" accompanied by the famous 'ombra' (small glass of local wine).
After the little break, you will reach by private luxury water taxi one of the oldest Murano glass factory and admire the millenary blowing glass art.
There is no better ending then a private boat ride through the Grand Canal, reflecting the sunset colors on the nobles palaces, and leaving you with the last amazing view of the city.
Ready to say.. ARRIVEDERCI VENEZIA!

This private tour of Venice exceeded all expectations.
The booking was simple & fast; our tour guide “Giovanni Bandini” communicated with us setting clear instructions on where to meet, tour expectations, etc.
He met us at our hotel and our incredible embrace of Venice started the moment we exited the hotel.
Some highlights included all the major attractions, however, the special added bonus was Giovanni’s tour of the Venice hidden gems not always noted for tourist (tucked away churches; palaces with significant history; detailed explanations of the palace emblems / markings; key local restaurants to try; best local Cichetti & wine, etc).
Bottom line , spending the day with Giovanni brought to life for us “the real Venice” and the depth / beauty of the Venetians.
Thanks again Giovanni
Tim & Scott

We had a great day guided by Giorgia. She shared many interesting historical references during the day. She made sure our 5 year old daughter had a good time, as well. The glass factory in Murano was fantastic. Overall a terrific experience to remember…

High yield tour! Giovanni our guide was amazing! He lives right in Venice and showed us his hometown. We felt like being toured by family. Aside from seeing the physical beauty of Venice, he treated us to an amazing restaurant and we had the best spaghetti with clams in our lives! Highly recommended!

Mateo was the BEST most knowledgeable guide ever & we have experienced tons of tours throughout the world! This is A MUST DO adventure of a lifetime. Mateo was sooo kind & understanding and beyond knowledgeable on everything Venice !!! The restaurant was an incredible local spot with the most beautiful owner ever!!!! This was a top rate experience! If you’re reading my review… STOP & BOOK NOW!!! Request Matt!! You will be so thankful you did :) just to be clear this is NOT a private boat for the day, we were very confused to find out there’s a 3 hour walking portion of the tour. Our guide so kindly rearranged everything to give us the perfect experience. It’s a boat to Murano & one hour on boat in canal , everything else is by foot. Worth every penny! Thanks for keeping us all so happy all day!

We recently spent a few days in Venice and decided to take a private tour of the Palazzo Ducale and the Basilico in St. Marks. Our guide was Enrico B and he was simply outstanding. Engaging and knowledgable, Enrico led us on a tour during which time seemed to stand still. There was so much take in and Enrico guided us through the history of Venice in a way that really made things come to life. We were so engrossed in Enrico's explanations and anecdotes that the 3 hours we were together really flew by. I'd highly recommend both Show Me Venice and if you're lucky you'll be able to get Enrico as your guide.

Giovanni was a fantastic guide for our full day tour. He had in-depth knowledge of the streets & history of Venice. We enjoyed walking tours of 3 sections of Venice that were not tourist traps & lunch at a cute little restaurant with him. Afternoon boat trip to Murano for tour & demonstration at a glass factory was amazing. We watched the creation of a unique vase by one of the top 5 glass blowing experts! That was followed by a boat tour of the Grand Canal with a knowledge dump from Giovanni on the palaces & churches. Relaxing end to a great day.

We recently had the most incredible private tour of Venice with Nico and it was an experience that as will cherish forever! From start to finish, the tour was simply outstanding and exceeded all our expectations.
First and foremost, Nico’s passion for Venice’s history and culture was palpable from the moment we met. His extensive knowledge of the city’s past and present is truly remarkable and he expertly weaved together fascinating stories about the hidden gems and iconic landmarks we visited. It was evident that he genuinely loves Venice and his enthusiasm was infectious, making the tour engaging and captivating throughout.
One of the highlights of the tour was undoubtedly the delicious lunch we enjoyed together. Nico took us to a charming local restaurant that served authentic Venetian cuisine. The flavors were out of this world and it was an excellent opportunity to not only savor mouthwatering dishes but also to have some relaxed, informal conversation with Nico which added an extra layer of personal touch to the entire experience.
Nico’s attention to detail and thoughtfulness were evident throughout the day. He tailored the tour to our interests, ensuring that we got to see and learn about the aspects of Venice that interested us the most. We covered both the iconic landmarks and off-the-beaten-path spots, which gave us a well-rounded and comprehensive understanding of this enchanting city.
Nico’s communication skills and charisma made the tour feel more like exploring with a knowledgeable friend rather than a formal guide. He was patient with our questions and his willingness to share personal anecdotes and local insights made the tour all the more enjoyable.
If you want an unforgettable experience in Venice with a knowledgeable, passionate, and personable guide, this is the perfect choice. Whether you are a history buff, a food lover, or simply eager to discover the soul of Venice, you will experience a day filled with wonderful memories.
